Read the passage: 'Artificial intelligence algorithms applied to healthcare diagnostics demonstrate diagnostic accuracy comparable to specialist clinicians in medical imaging. Nonetheless, ethical questions regarding algorithmic bias, accountability for misdiagnoses, and the preservation of the physician-patient relationship remain unresolved.' Which of the following statements can be logically inferred?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Technical accuracy alone is insufficient to resolve all challenges associated with integrating AI into clinical practice

  1. Step 1: The passage asserts that despite high diagnostic accuracy comparable to specialists, serious ethical issues of bias, liability, and interpersonal trust persist.
  2. Step 2: This directly implies that technical precision alone does not address the full spectrum of legal, ethical, and human challenges in healthcare.
  3. Step 3: Thus, inference option 1 is the logical conclusion.
Answer
Technical accuracy alone is insufficient to resolve all challenges associated with integrating AI into clinical practice.
Why not the others: 'Clinicians have been completely replaced' is false and contradicts current clinical reality and the text; 'Diagnostic algorithms make zero errors' is contradicted by the mention of 'accountability for misdiagnoses'; 'Ethical considerations are negligible' contradicts the author's emphasis on unresolved dilemmas.
